Pages with incomplete editorial provenance
A per-URL report: one row per page that matches, over the pages a crawl reached.
What this report returns
Editorial provenance (who wrote this, who published it, when) is what an agent checks before trusting content, read from the page's Article JSON-LD.
A row appears here when any of these is wrong, worst first:
- Missing AuthorThe Article has no resolvable author (absent, or a nameless author node), so agents can't attribute the content.Fix Add
"author": {"@type": "Person", "name": "..."}(an Organization or a plain string also works). - Missing PublisherThe Article has no resolvable publisher, so agents can't identify who stands behind the content.Fix Add
"publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "..."}. - Missing Date PublishedThe Article has no
datePublished, so agents can't judge how current the content is.Fix Add it in ISO 8601, e.g."datePublished": "2026-07-29". - Invalid DateA
datePublished/dateModifiedvalue isn't valid ISO 8601, so agents can't parse when the content was published.Fix Use ISO 8601, e.g."2026-07-29"or"2026-07-29T09:30:00Z".
We expect them because provenance an agent can't read is provenance it can't weigh. The exception is a badly formatted date, which is a real schema.org type violation: datePublished and dateModified are Date/DateTime values.
The columns it shows
Every defect this technology can carry is a column in the grid, worst first, so nothing is hidden behind a filter you have to know to apply.
